Re: [NTG-context] formatting index entries: alphabetical order in Unicode

How should we know why you have problems with your index entries when you're unable to provide a working minimal example, all you have shown so far are snippets. Attached I am sending a longer example, compiled from a few chapters. There you can see that the word 'āddariṃda' is listed as if it starts with a 'd'. This happens with every word that begins with a vowel with a macron. As I mentioned in my last posting, I already have a primitive workaround solution – but this could become an issue for some later user for whom the index is more important. A PDF with the wrong sorting order doesn't help when you can't show a working minimal example to reproduce the problem. When you need more control about the sorting order of the index you should switch to MkIV which has more options.

Re: [NTG-context] balanced vertical spaces under \startcolumnset
Dear Sytse Knypstra, Thank you for your reply. I read the manual “Columns” as you suggested. The command \setupcolumnsetstart made a balanced output. But my problem is little different from it. I want exam paper of two columns in a page and in each column two problems located with the same space for solution. In general, it worked well, except the solution space of the last problem. Without \column, the heights of the two problems in the last column are different. With \column, the heights are same, but it create another extra blank page. It is not a big problem, but I wonder there is a solution. Thank you for your concern.

Re: [NTG-context] formatting index entries: alphabetical order in Unicode
That helps!
But in any case, it looks like the problems are actually several (also the one
of the precise order of the words in the index), and I think the 'fastest'
solution for now is that I just compile the index (only 4 pages), make a
separate component file and rearrange the contents by copy-and-paste. Not the
most elegant of solutions, but it works. :-)
